Comic Cosby lends help to Detroit schools - Education- msnbc.com:

"But Cosby made it clear that it would take more than his name and Bobb's dedication. He challenged parents to be more active in their children's education and ensure they get to school each day.

'We've got to really speak to parents — in a way they can understand — that the prison system is smiling, waiting on your child,' Cosby said.
Later, during a nearly half-hour performance at a district rally, Cosby praised Bobb's work.

'This man comes to Detroit like a hired gunfighter,' Cosby told several hundred parents and students at Henry Ford High School. 'He's going to get people who've been stealing from you.'"
